  This deep ruby wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, aged for 12 months in French oak barriques (33% new). Offering plentiful red fruit that is accented with savory herbs, baking spices, violets, menthol and graphite, it is a medium-bodied red with fresh acidity, seamless alcohol (14%), proportionate oak and silky-textured tannins. Dense in the middle and medium-to-long on the back end, it is a joy to drink. Sampled over three hours from a bottle that had been decanted through a Vinturi aerator, this fully opened after the first 90 minutes in carafe. Drink now-2034.

  Wine #4 from the Vancouver Bordeaux release.
  On nose: smoke, faint eucalyptus, and Kona coffee.
  On palate: all above flavour notes , in addition to present oak resin, fairly strong cassis( black currant), fresh minerality, tannins and light acidity displayed after a 1 hour decant......as the wine expands, ripe blueberry, rosemary, and cigar wrapper, are to be found.
  A taut, sleek old- school Graves, enjoyable now as a steak wine, but may close up for a few years....best after 2026.
  My first sample of their red.....the white of this estate is excellent over many vintages.
  This red may score 92, in the future.

  Vibrant red berries and cherry, there is some leather and spice and a tiny bit of earthy funk. Medium tannin and acidity, recommend a good decant

  Fresh, crisp, bright red berries, touches of spice, sprigs of mint and leafy herbs pop on the nose and palate in this medium-bodied, already charming wine. You can pop a cork on this as soon as it hits the stores. Drink from 2022-2031,
